for python, its fast production and prototyping. a interpreter allows you to test it at a much faster rate; no compile times

time? not really, although python in particular can be hard to distribute. but the writing of the code is very quick and can do alot in a short amount of time. performance, absolutely it slows down. but often that doesn't matter if it gets the job done. compiled vs. interpreted has different uses and benefits. learn interpreted, because sometimes you just need a task done quick without worrying about details. you don't have to learn python; there are many scripting languages out there.

Interpreter language is also platform independent. You can take your program written in Windows and run in Linux without change.
